New York Play Puts Audience, Actors On The Move

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  A theatrical group in New York
is putting on a performance of the William Shakespeare
play Alls Well That Ends Well that should move
playgoers  and the actors  literally.

Starting tomorrow (Jun. 1), the New York Classical Theatre
will be putting on a performance in Central Park where each scene
takes place in a different part of the park.

That means after each scene, the actors and the audience have
to sprint to the next location.

Director Stephen Burdman has been doing the mobile
performances in New York for the last seven years and says the
current play will cover 12 acres in less than two hours.

It might be tiring, but Burdman says the pacing keeps the
audience interested  and breathing heavily, too.

Naturally, the actors have to be athletes as well, and Burdman
knows one thespian who lost 20 pounds during last summers
run.

Burdman says most of Shakespeares plays lend themselves
to the run-on format, though he admits he probably wont try
Hamlet because its an interior play.
